Good Monday evening. The wild weather ride will kick into high gear over the next few days as a powerful cold front moves across the bluegrass state. Here’s a look at what to expect:

– Near record high temps Tuesday as many areas hit the upper 60s to around 70 degrees.

– Wind gusts of 30-40mph will be possible during the day.

– The cold front swings eastward Tuesday night and Wednesday with a squall line of thunderstorms along it. This will set the stage for the potential for severe thunderstorms and damaging winds. The Storm Prediction Center shows the threat level:

– Temps Wednesday will start in the 60s and drop into the 30s during the evening.

– Snow showers and flurries will be possible Wednesday night into Thursday.

– A couple of light snow makers will work in Friday into Saturday as arctic cold temps take hold.

Looks like north Richmond might have a shot of busting past 1″ of snow with two light snow makers 😉 I did not think it was “possible” to have a lower total than last winter, but the trend seems to support that it is very possible.

Yeah, I am glad CB called them “light snow chances” in this outlook. Light can mean a dusting to two inches in my book. We have had 4-5 inches so far this year In Lawrenceburg. Had 7-8 inches last year but most was on March 5. Far cry from the 20 inches in 2010-2011 and the 25 inches in 2009-2010!

once again CHIN up posters, if u cant enjoy 60s next 2 days u nbeed just quit,

not depressing, u could be sick or dead, now thats depressing.

winter is what it is now, and until we have a BIG OVERALL PATTERN CHANGE then it is what it is. BE HAPPY!! hug ur friend, ur momma and ur daddy etc because it could be ALOT worse than 60s degrees then few furries and 30 degrees.

I see the Friday system has moved into Saturday now and the storm has been downgraded to an Ackerman…”light snow maker”.

Can’t make snow out of thin air as much as we would like to see it, but I applaud Mr. Bailey’s efforts in making us believe the way we did when we were kids.
That being said however, the winter of 2012 will be forgotten as the Winter of Embellishment

Quit worrying about the snow. The potential severe thunderstorms has a huge potential of wide spread wind damage. The wind field with this system very late tomorrow night is off the charts. These storms could easily produce 70 to 80 mph winds at the surface.
